Chiapas Amber Plugs from Abaraka Size:4g (5mm) high-contrast apricot wood with hollyAlso called Mexican amber, Chiapas amber is from Mexico's southernmost state, of the same name. The amber for these plugs is fossilized resin from the now extinct Hymenaea mexicana legume tree, and is approximately 24 million years old.
